Liberals can secede but conservatives can’t.
Got it.
As I understand it, three things would have to happen to create this new state.
1. Congress in Washington would have to approve it.
2. The legislature in Sacramento would have to agree to let this area go.
3. The people in the affected area would have to approve it.
West Virginia broke off from Virginia, but that happened because of the civil war.
Maine was originally a part of Massachusetts. But then they went through the process to create a separate state.
Any other examples of states changing borders, or a new state coming from an existing state?
Any any happen since the 19th century?
